The Routledge Companion to Site-Specific Performance
This collection comprises a comprehensive overview of key themes, arguments, and practices central to the study and understanding of site-specific performance. Its collected essays, case studies, and practitioner accounts represent a must-have resource that engages with established and emergent ideas, themes, and practices central to this performance sub-discipline. Acknowledging the interdisciplinary nature of this field emergent through the creation and presentation of performance in non-theatre spaces, the companion includes writing from scholars whose work intersects with ideas from a range of related fields including dance, theatre, dramaturgy, human geography, architecture, walking stu...

Ruínas da cena
Após publicar, em 2017, o livro Imagens Políticas: reflexões práticas e práticas reflexivas, o grupo de pesquisa Imagens Políticas: Poéticas Políticas do Teatro Contemporâneo apresenta aqui seu segundo livro com artigos de seus integrantes. Para sua escrita, o grupo discutiu previamente, em encontros semanais, as teses Sobre o Conceito de História de Walter Benjamin. Nesses encontros, nos debruçamos sobre o cruzamento de fenômenos sociais e artísticos importantes para as investigações de cada um, com a intenção de estabelecermos reflexões capazes de desvendar a face crítica do texto benjaminiano para pesquisas nas artes da cena, realçando distâncias históricas e transformações de contexto. Os textos aqui compiladas são frutos dessas investigações cruzadas que se valem das teses de Benjamin para a reflexão sobre o corpus artístico, assim como também dos fenômenos analisados para testar o alcance dessas teses nos campos tanto da teatralidade cotidiana quanto das artes da cena.
Teatro e os povos indígenas
Estamos vivendo um momento paradoxal da nossa história, em especial a brasileira. Muitos eventos marcam este período, desde a catastrófica pandemia da Covid-19, a desconcertante política nacional que vem contrariando a tendência mundial em relação à proteção ambiental e dos povos originários, mas também, pela existência de uma produção inquieta de arte, pesquisa e encontros para a sobrevivência física e cultural. No meio desse emaranhado de acontecimentos nasce o livro digital: Teatro e os povos indígenas – Janelas abertas para a possibilidade, enquanto uma coletânea que reúne diferentes vozes, em torno do fazer teatral dos povos originários. Apesar de haver ainda pouc...

The Indigenous Languages of South America
The Indigenous Languages of South America: A Comprehensive Guide is a thorough guide to the indigenous languages of this part of the world. With more than a third of the linguistic diversity of the world (in terms of language families and isolates), South American languages contribute new findings in most areas of linguistics. Though formerly one of the linguistically least known areas of the world, extensive descriptive and historical linguistic research in recent years has expanded knowledge greatly. These advances are represented in this volume in indepth treatments by the foremost scholars in the field, with chapters on the history of investigation, language classification, language endangerment, language contact, typology, phonology and phonetics, and on major language families and regions of South America.
The Falling Sky
Anthropologist Bruce Albert captures the poetic voice of Davi Kopenawa, shaman and spokesman for the Yanomami of the Brazilian Amazon, in this unique reading experience—a coming-of-age story, historical account, and shamanic philosophy, but most of all an impassioned plea to respect native rights and preserve the Amazon rainforest.
Kubla Khan
Though left uncompleted, “Kubla Khan” is one of the most famous examples of Romantic era poetry. In it, Samuel Coleridge provides a stunning and detailed example of the power of the poet’s imagination through his whimsical description of Xanadu, the capital city of Kublai Khan’s empire. Samuel Coleridge penned “Kubla Khan” after waking up from an opium-induced dream in which he experienced and imagined the realities of the great Mongol ruler’s capital city. Coleridge began writing what he remembered of his dream immediately upon waking from it, and intended to write two to three hundred lines. However, Coleridge was interrupted soon after and, his memory of the dream dimming, was ultimately unable to complete the poem.
